I am a stay at home mom, with a bookkeeping freelance business, so I am home most of the day. When I do work, my husband is usually home, except on Tuesdays. I have a 4 year old also, so I do have to take him and pick him up from preschool.

Candace B.'s Neighborhood

I'm friendly, and love dogs

Pet care experience

Just an FYI we can only sit for dogs that are 30 lbs or smaller, due to HOA rules in our condo complex. I have had and cared for a dog most of my life. I have never been dog sitting on Rover for a couple of years now, and have enjoyed it immensely. I love having dogs around. I am a stay at home mom, who is home a majority of the day. Russell, my husband, would also be caring for your dog, and he's great with dogs. We would love to have your pup over for a visit, while you are out of town. If you have any question, please feel free to ask. I do have a 4 year old son. He is great with dogs/pets. He used to dogs being around.We had a dog for his whole life. Unfortunately, our Charlie dog passed away last May. He was 11/12 years old.

Candace was an absolutely amazing host - great communication, really lovely to work with, and Luna Moonbat could not have been happier! Can’t say enough good things about this stay, and Luna can’t wait for her next visit to Candace’s place!

Candace was the first pet sitter I have ever had and her and her sweet family made me feel so comfortable with leaving my little chihuahua, who is usually attached to me. Ollie seemed to instantly feel at home with them. Candace sent periodic pictures of Ollie and set my mind at ease knowing that she was safe and happy and loved. I will absolutely use Candace as Ollie’s pet sitter again. So grateful for her, her husband, and their sweet son, Liam!

We have continued to use Candace as she is great with our Chihuahua. Our pup wags her tail when we walk up Candace's steps to drop her off, that's when we know she's in great hands.

Candace was a wonderful caretaker of Roxy. We loved periodically receiving pictures of our puppers, and seeing her gradually warm up to Candace and Charlie (Roxy is pretty shy and sad when we leave her). We would absolutely trust Candace with our girl anytime. Thanks Candace!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
